洞中蝙蝠

千 年 鼠 化 白 蝙 蝠
黑 洞 深 藏 避 网 罗。
远 害 全 身 诚 得 计
一 生 幽 暗 又 如 何？

Qian nian shu hua bai bian fu
Hei dong shen cang bi wang luo.
Yuan hai quan shen cheng she ji
Yi sheng you an you ru he?

For over one thousand years mice have transformed into bats
Hidden deep inside a black hole, don’t let the nets catch me.
Far away from harm, complete life of sincere plans
One life in hidden seclusion, is also like what?
Commentary:
Bai Juyi is the bat.
